1036 Park Ave

Located on Park Avenue between East 85th and 86th Streets, this mid-century cooperative was built in 1957 and rises roughly 20 stories with just 19 residences, giving the property a low-density, apartment-house feel. Units range from studios to two-bedroom homes; many layouts retain original details such as crown moldings, hardwood floors, and formal entry foyers, while others have undergone modern renovations that add eat-in kitchens, built-in storage systems and windowed bathrooms. Corner apartments offer abundant light through multiple exposures and generous Park Avenue or cross‑street views. The building operates as a full-service co-op with a 24-hour doorman, live-in superintendent, central laundry, and individual storage bins that transfer with apartments for a fee. Mechanical restrictions include a no washer/dryer policy within units and centralized HVAC requirements in some homes. Pied-a-terres are generally permitted but pets are typically not allowed; the co-op applies a 2% flip tax on transfers and commonly enforces a 50% maximum financing policy. At two blocks from Central Park and within walking distance of Museum Mile, shopping and transit, the property sits in a highly walkable Upper East Side neighborhood popular with cultural institutions and schools.
